We would have normally traded in SWMBO’s car by now. We tend to buy approx 3 year old cars, keep them for a further three years then sell and buy again.

But with the uncertainty regarding how cars are taxed and fuelled we are staying put. I have a list of jobs on the ZTT which I look forward to doing and SWMBO’s i30 estate has proved totally reliable, comfortable and inexpensive to run.

So the capital stays invested where it has made a fair bit of late whereas the certainty of monetary loss on a car purchase is simply not an attractive option at all.
